November 23

Hi,

This is just a quick update to let you know that Den got through this round of chemotherapy with relatively few side effects. He was a little more tired than usual, but that could be because this is such a high dosage of temador (460mg) or because he is battling pneumonia. My guess is that it's a combination of both. He was diagnosed last Wednesday, so he has been home since then, taking the additional antibiotics, coughing a lot, and resting when he can. Hopefully, he is on the mend.

If he had to get pneumonia, better to get it last week than the upcoming one because that will be when his immune system will be at it's lowest point. We are both wondering how that will go in each upcoming month. Like everything else, it's wait and see, living one day at a time.

As we enter this week of Thanksgiving, please know how special all of you are to us. We give thanks for your love and friendship every day and hope that you and your family are able to celebrate a wonderful holiday together.

We'll check in Tuesday after seeing the doctor!
Carla
